Cocktails

Blood Orange Cocktail: In a mixing glass combine 1 ounce gin or other white spirit with 3/4 ounce blood orange purée,* 1/2 teaspoon simple syrup. Shake over ice, strain into a glass and garnish with a sprig of mint and a lime wheel.

Bloody Mimosa: To make this popular sparkler, combine 1/2 ounce triple sec or other orange liqueur with 1-1/2 ounces blood orange juice and 3-1/2 ounces of chilled Champagne or other sparkling wine. Make twists from the orange peel for garnish.
